Create or Edit a File on Cisco IOS Flash

There is always the option to edit a file locally on your computer in notepad++ and then upload it to Cisco device.

With this trick, you can write or edit a file from Flash memory directly from Cisco IOS console. If you need it for whatever reason, maybe to change something in the config file or something else, this is the way to do it.

I was using if for my next article lab where I needed a file on the flash with at least 1600 bytes so I can pull it from neighbouring router with HTTP and check some details in new TCP connection. It was faster to just create the file directly on the router flash and not creating it on my laptop and then transferring it with FTP or TFTP.
